Familiars and Their Pet Caster's Con Damage

[firebrandtoluc]

I finally found a question I can't seem to find an answer for. If the Wizard takes Con Damage, does the Familiar's max HP drop? Con Drain would do it for sure, I believe, but Damage is transitory. I had been assuming that the Familiar loses the HP but perhaps I am wrong?

If you read the entry on temporary hit points under "Increases in Constitution Score and Current Hit Points", it states that Con changes aren't temporary hit points. This means you are doing it right.

Awesome, thank you Darg

This also means a familiar can benefit double for Con buffs.

Can it, though? A familiar's hit point total is not normally based on their own Constitution score. I don't think casting a bear's endurance spell on your familiar would change it's hp at all.

Nope, you're right. I don't know what I was thinking. Thanks for pointing it out.
